Bansy is an announced playable character in Ananta, an upcoming free-to-play urban open-world role-playing video game developed by Naked Rain and NetEase. A pink-haired street artist originating from the Delirium Block, Bansy is known for being "as destructive as she is creative," embodying the spirit of urban art culture with her passionate approach to self-expression.

Character Overview

Bansy is described as "a street artist with a knack for destruction and creativity." Her character embodies the intersection of art and chaos, using her creative talents to make a mark on Nova City in both literal and figurative ways.

She is characterized as "a free soul whose passion for new things burns red hot, for a minute, give or take." This description suggests an impulsive, enthusiastic personality that eagerly embraces new experiences and ideas, though her intense interest may be fleeting as she moves from one creative project to the next.

Personality and Philosophy

Bansy's personality is defined by her passionate dedication to artistic expression, particularly through graffiti and street art. Her quotes reveal her philosophy and attitude:

• "I'll paint my mark on the world for sure!" - expressing her determination to leave a lasting impact
• "Inspo isn't always on tap. Observe, sketch, and repeat to truly pop!" - demonstrating her understanding that creativity requires constant observation and practice
• "Heh, wanna make graffiti too?" - showing her enthusiasm for sharing her art form with others
• "Graffiti, now that IS love" - revealing her deep emotional connection to street art

Her approach to art emphasizes the importance of observation and repetition in developing one's creative skills. Despite her "destructive" tendencies, Bansy views graffiti as an act of love and a legitimate form of artistic expression.

Weapon and Combat Style

Bansy's primary weapon is a paintball minigun, a unique armament that perfectly reflects her identity as a street artist. The weapon appears to have dual functionality: it shoots what may be lasers for damage, while also leaving behind a splash of paint wherever she fires. This innovative weapon system allows her to combine combat effectiveness with artistic expression, literally painting the battlefield as she fights.

The paintball minigun suggests a combat style that emphasizes area coverage and visual impact, potentially allowing Bansy to mark territories, create colorful diversions, or use paint-based mechanics as part of her unique gameplay abilities.

Origin and Background

Bansy originates from the Delirium Block, a location within Nova City. While specific details about the Delirium Block are limited, the name suggests it may be a district known for its creative, chaotic, or unconventional atmosphere—fitting for a character like Bansy who thrives on artistic expression and controlled destruction.

Her background as a street artist from this area has shaped her worldview and her approach to both art and combat, blending the two in ways that make her stand out from more conventional characters.

Appearance

Bansy is notably described as having pink hair, which fits her vibrant, artistic personality and makes her visually distinctive. Multiple visual representations of her character are available, including portrait art, Twitter promotional art, announcement images, and character emotes, all of which showcase her energetic and colorful design.

Current Development Status

Bansy was featured prominently in promotional materials during the Project Mugen era of the game's development. However, her status became uncertain following a significant website update on September 23, 2025, when her bio was removed from the official Ananta website.

Many characters from the Project Mugen era, including Bansy, Alan, Mechanika, and Dila, had their information removed from the official website during this September update. This removal has led to speculation about potential changes to these characters' designs, roles, or even their inclusion in the final game.

Despite the removal from the official website, multiple sources continue to list Bansy as an expected character in the game's roster, appearing alongside Taffy, Alan, Mechanika, Dila, Ringo, Aileen, and Lykaia.

The game's developers have indicated that character details "seem to change a lot between trailers," suggesting that Bansy's final design and implementation may differ from earlier promotional materials when the game officially launches. Her final inclusion and specific gameplay mechanics remain subject to official confirmation closer to the game's release date.
